Yes!
Quoting: Rev Woo-Woo I grow oilseed sunflowers, the Peredovik variety, and the Piteba does a great job on them. Don’t have to shell them first, the press takes care of that. Sweet! Those would be great to grow where I live. How much do they produce? Very prolific, lots of oil. Grow about 4 feet tall. Russian agronomists developed the strain in the 1950s. When they start to mature you need to net them, otherwise birds will take a great percentage of your crop. The leftover mash can be used to feed critters, they love it. Hancock Seed sells them in bulk for decent prices: [ link to hancockseed.com (secure)] 10 lbs. will plant a really big area. The seeds will remain viable for quite a few years stored, but save a few pounds from one years crop and you can plant fresh every year, keeping bought seed for backup in case of crop failure,
